Part of the 'Introducing' Series.
James Joyce ranks alongside such figures as Picasso, Schoenberg and Stravinsky as one of the great pioneers of modernism. But a myth of Joyce's "difficulty" has taken root, discouraging many readers from approaching his work. This is a great pity, because his writings are deeply human, enormously comic, and compelling reading.
Although Joyce spent much of his life in self-imposed exile, all of his writings are obsessively and microscopically focused on Dublin's fair city. 'Introducing Joyce' is the ideal persuader to overcome any reader's doubts about tackling the "Irish Sphinx". it is wittily illustrated by Carl Flint.
